The truth.
Bugger. I really hated that word… Honestly, whoever said The truth will set you free had no idea what he was talking about. How did I know ? Simple, really…the truth loved me. I didn’t love it, but it loved me: I am incapable of telling lies.
Can you even imagine how inconvenient that is when you go to school with people like the Marauders...?!

It was beyond baffling. How could you detest something so thoroughly and yet fancy someone who stood for it? How could you fancy someone when you were hopelessly in love with someone else? And how the hell could you be mind-blowingly in love with one person and still hate them with every cell in your body?"

It is the witching hour in Massachusetts. And while most of the colony sleeps through it, Constance Palmer lies awake. The only child of a respectable Puritan minister, her world of rigid discipline and piety has been turned upside down by a dangerous discovery. She can do magic.
This is the story of the founding of the Salem Witches’ Institute…and all that came before it.

I'm not giving up. I'm not backing down.
This time, I'll make her understand - I'll force Lily Evans to see that I love her. No matter what it takes. By the time my stupid mates let us out of this godforsaken broom cupboard, she'll be crystal clear on this one:
I. LOVE. YOU. LILY. EVANS.
Get it? Got it? GOOD.

Love is like the tide, rising and falling, coming and going. The ebb and flow of their relationship was never consistent nor was it easy, but he wanted it. He wanted her, all of her, even if it meant giving all of himself.

Janelle Marriot has her issues. She's totally overshadowed by her twin siblings, prone to overreactions, cannot read between the lines, always happens to put those around her in mortal peril and what's worse, the cherry on top of it all? Sirius Black kissed her without really meaning it. And boy did she want him to mean it.

There was no bright smile on his face. There was no happiness about his person. And worse of all, there was absolutely no emotion in his once vibrant, grey eyes. He was a ghost. "What happened to you?"

“Oh no,” Professor Slughorn replied as he rose from his chair and came to stand beside me, holding the door open for me. “Thank you, Miss Briggs. If it wasn’t for you, Mister Black would be without a Potions partner.”
